The location of the hotel in Midtown is superb... - Review of The Blakely New York

The Blakely came recommended to me by a friend. I was there in August 2012 with my mother and niece and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Based on that visit, I booked it for a reunion with 10 sorority sisters in December, 2012. Asst. Manager Yariv Schein was very helpful in coordinating three rooms, including a suite, putting us close to one another, juggling the billing among all the women, and accommodating our needs. We were there in December which is, of course, high season, and he worked with us to get us the best rate possible. The location of the hotel in Midtown is superb, you can walk everywhere, many amenities and all the sights are nearby and the subway line to lower Lower Manhattan is close by. The hotel is clean and nicely decorated, the staff is friendly and helpful, and continental breakfast in the neighboring restaurant is included. I would not hesitate to stay at The Blakely again for work or personal reasons and highly recommend it.

My wife and I stayed at the Blakely Hotel over the long weekend in February 2013, and we really enjoyed our stay. Perfect location: 55th street between 6th and 7th Avenues - close to several subway stops, restaurants, shopping, etc. Our room (1308) and the bathroom were fairly big by NYC standards, clean, and very comfortable. Continental breakfast and wi-fi were included in the rate.

The only complaint I have is a heater/AC unit - it made high-pitched shrieking noise throughout the night - I had to turn it off and it eventually stopped.

Clean, nicely appointed rooms. I have never been disappointed by the sleeping experience on the comfortable beds. The streetside rooms are noisy but I'll gladly accept the street sounds for the reasonably price at this high quality hotel. Services are limited but I rarely use hotel services when traveling on business.

This hotel is charming and quaint. Hard wood floors, beautifully decorated, and immaculate. The bathroom is modern and has a rain forest shower. The suite was spacious and well laid out. Definitely the place to stay.

Room Tip: Ask for a corner room

The paneled lobby, the flocked chairs flanking the sofa in the lobby, the suede-lined walls in the floors above ~ all reminiscent of an English club. While not ostentatious or snobby at all, The Blakely has much to desire in NYC - fabulous location for this price (Gosh, the St. Regis is a few blocks over for a lot more $$$, the Hilton is on the corner for more $$$), friendly and helpful everybody, and more than accommodating rooms. Rates include a continental breakfast served in the restaurant adjacent to the lobby. Watermelon in February was spectacular! Luscious! Thanks, Blakely!Our room had all you could want in its galley kitchen in the hallway - mini-bar, frig, sink, plenty of dishes and cutlery (you could dine here if you chose), microwave, a Keurig for morning coffee.Bath and room were more than adequate - lots of mirrors in the bath, comfy bed and a sitting area beside. We were on the 11th floor with a great view of City Centre and welcomed sunlight each morning! The lighted closet had great space, an ironing board, a hair dryer, wonderful shelving. This is a find for those of us who don't want to pay through the nose to enjoy NYC. Just stay away when I want to come so there is a room for me!

Room Tip: Ask for a room at the front of the hotel for a good view and morning sunlight.

Recently stayed at The Blakely and had a one bedroom suite. It was quite spacious by New York standards and was well appointed. It is near some great restaurants, pubs and theater district. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Would stay there again and recommend to friends.

We stayed 12 nights and upgraded to a 2 bedroom suite. It was very comfortable stay. The hotel is small so you get full attention from the staff. They are very helpful. Breakfast nice, even so it is continental. The free Wi-Fi is good. The location is superb!! Good buses going up/down and across town. There is an underground station (R Q N) end of the street. Good coffee shops and restaurants near the hotel, and very good gourmet to go like Dean & Deluca 56th , or Morton Williams 57th. Both, just next to the 6.5 Ave. The small kitchette meant being able to bring back the good food and eat indoors. The hotel is next to the MoMA, Columbus circle, Broadway theaters, Times Square the Carnegie hall and the central park. Would definitely return!

In heart of Midtown Manhattan Central Park West, steps way from Times Square and 5th Avenue Shops.
